Rising blood pressure
Long wait in the lobby
To pass time a nice keurig coffee selection
Beats Starbucks
The call came in
Hunting for a non-existent vein for blood work
Waiting again in the sub area
Nurse checking my vitals
Afraid to be sent right to the hospital next door
Taking to the exam room
Waiting again
How you feeling she asks?
Must be feeling great to be in here really
Next stop scheduling desk
Making sure scheduled for the right procedure
Trip to the pharmacy
Picking up not sure what and why
Oh my
Pharmacist suggesting writing a prescription
To make sure if I stop breathing
A nasal spray will be needed
Followed by a 911 call
Would I know I stopped breathing?
Needless to say
Walked out without this prescription
A trip back to the doctor is needed
Might be safer to stay home
With a trip to Starbucks instead
Playing by My Own Rules 
Wow Tink, what an adventure huh? I did love this, “How you feeling she asks?
Must be feeling great to be in here really.” Classic :):)

With my own doctor’s appointment looming, this post hit the mark…I agree, a visit to Starbuck’s is much better!

Your title hits the nail on the head…horror. ha. I have a Dr. visit coming up soon and my pressure hits the roof. I usually joke its the white coat syndrome.

I wonder if the high blood pressure was the reason for the doctor visit or the result of it, or both 🙂 . I hope you feel better.

It was just a follow up visit and my blood pressure shoots up to the roof every time I am there knowing that the lab work is always challenging, they never seem to find a vein and I hate getting poked.

When I was a kid at naval hospitals, I’d almost faint or throw up every time I got blood drawn, especially if it took a while. As a young adult, I’d tell them I have to lie down for blood work. Over the years, it’s gotten less challenging but I still have to distract myself by talking, reciting a poem in my head, or singing. It seems there’s a lot of difference in skill level when it comes to getting blood. I hope next time it goes smoothly.

Will find out this coming Tuesday. Still bruised from the last visit and still did not get any blood. They have to train the tech. Some of them are good and some you know when they start tapping on your hand to find a vein, it is not going to end well.
